RITA's CIV: To Me, Fair Friend, You Never Can Be Old

[Brian Cronin]

Here's RITA's.

It's a basic off-topic discussion thread. It is named in honor of one of our favorite posters, Awesome Rita!

Think about it as her bar.

Same rules as the regular board apply, except, well, the off-topic part.

In addition, if you really must ask ridiculous questions, then you can ask that stuff here.

Also, as I think has been born out a few times now, please try not to use this thread to discuss other threads/posts on the Community Forum (or any other forum, really). Just post in those other threads (and, if it is off-topic for that thread, then just don't post it period - or try a PM!).

Otherwise, enjoy!

-Brian

I always know it's trouble when I log off when Rita's is only a 100 posts shy of 5,000. I think the answer's pretty obvious, Brian.

"If you're looking to get wood, Faggs can help you out!"Do Ben Doun and Phil McCavity work there?

Ronald Bryan needs to think rustic:

What if you don't want lumber, just some kindling... like maybe some sticks... all bundled up for ease of transportation?

I think the answer's pretty obvious, Brian.
Fire?

Do Ben Doun and Phil McCavity work there?
Dunno, but I think I saw Holden McGroyne down there a few weeks back.




Edit: Dangit. Coke to Brian. Hoist on me own petard.

[Paradox]

Spike-X blithers blithely:

If you made a batter with lemon butter, and it was superior to any other batter you'd made, would it be the better bitter butter batter?

It better.

[StarsAndGarters]

No, that's just for the spammers.

Is it booze?

[howyadoin]

Dunno, but I think I saw Holden McGroyne down there a few weeks back.Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald are probably retired by now.

[Pól Rua]

It better.

It'd be better, but only an itty bitty bit better.

Is it booze?

Is it luck? Is it luck?
Well, is it?

I never thought I'd say this, but Anne's charms are starting to wear thin on me. Maybe it's because I automatically associate her with Baron Von Serverlag, or maybe it's seeing my own face on her body, but I'm starting to wonder if a new "cure" is in order.

Yeah, he's gone.
Here's your rocketpack and Monica Bellucci clone.

Let's just pray he never finds out about the Monica Bellucci clones.


I think I'm going to go lie down and read more Ultimate Spider-Man.

I got up hoping a girl I could flirt with would be online. That failing, I may as well go back to bed.

Not yet. Maybe after I get my finances stable enough that I'm NOT in mortal fear of being evicted...

I have that problem. I caught up with one of my friends yesterday with this extra time off and next week i'm hoping to catch up with another friend. She had a shower party I couldn't make it too because I already had tickets for a comic convention but I got her a gift for the baby so i'd really like her to have it.

I'm naturally antisocial, but it's my experience that I'm happier when I get outta the house and see people. Plus, I find that if I make the effort and don't just blow my friends off when they invite me out, I actually get invited to more things.
It's just getting up the energy to get off my arse and actually get out of the damn house that's the hassle. So I'm really trying at the moment.

[Paradox]

Mermaid shouldn't worry:

ouch. That's not good. I really hope things arn't as bad as it sounds for you.

Not really any more. I got way behind on a bunch of stuff, and have had to live like a pauper the last several months to play catch up. Almost there, though.

Seconded that.

sounds a little like me. I'm not antisocial as such but I do find it hard to get out as much as i'd like to being a single parent. and yes you're right, i'm far happier too when I can get out!

heh! - good point. She is stealing the scenes easily. I'm a little confused though because I think i've seen it before but I obviously didn't pay much attention the other time either because everytime I look over there's a scene I don't remember seeing before.
Like that 'plane scene they just did.

When he wandered out of the basement, I was half expecting the cast of Lost to appear.

It did look a lot like that. I remember this bit with the crowd and the guy taking his car and that.

There's never anything on at the weekends anymore.

[Matt]

Especially during the day. It's always bloody sport which, quite bluntly, is just plain boring to watch. I miss the days when you could switch on the TV on a lazy afternoon and fully expect to have some movies to choose from.


I think I've realised what one of the main faults with this movie is. The protagonist is really not sympathetic in the least ... he's just an annoying idiot. It seems to be a step by step guide on how to make the biggest dumbass decisions possible while acting like a schmuck.

[Mermaid]

You wouldn't want to film this scene too many times, That's a helluva lot of extras!

[Matt]

That's what CGI and editing is for.

[Matt]

I'm thinking the aliens plan is really, really daft as well.

Goal: Kill all humans.

Plan: Numerous tripod machines armed with really thin death plans so it takes one shot to kill one human. Result means machines will need to make approximately 6 billion shots over the course of the invasion.

Instead of ... oh, I don't know ... wide dispersal beams, biological warfare, nukes, orbital bombardment, screwing with the ecosystem. Much better methods for an obviously advanced race to cause mass death with a minimum of fuss.

[Matt]

Ha. Loved that ominous shadowing of Tim Robbin's face just now. It's like the movie makers were screaming...
"Look! We've got the guy from Shawshank! This must be a good film! Really!"

If they'd been more efficient it wouldn't have been a very long movie.

That guy in the basement looks like the janitor from Scrubs! Ha!

[Matt]

"They've been planning this for a million years"

Right. So the aliens, during all that time, couldn't come up with a plan that didn't suck? One, maybe, that meant they didn't fight in million year old antiques?
Why not just nudge a rather large asteroid towards Earth?

Oh wait ... then we'd get Bruce Willis trying to blow it up. Never mind.

[Mermaid]

while all this is going on i'm trying to delete a ton of crap from a old Windows '98 I have in the study that NEVER gets switched on even because it's so damn slow.
and when I say slow, I mean an hour and a half and it still hasn't managed to open the internet.
It may be the end of the road for ol' '98.

They have Windows '98 too? No wonder they're losing.

[Matt]

They have Windows '98 too? No wonder they're losing.

Worse. They're running those Tripods on Windows ME.

Which is why their invasion is so incredibly slow. They have to stop a couple of times a day to reinstall their OS because it's so incredibly crap.

They thought they were being clever, not using an OS that's not compatible with an Apple Laptop ... unlike those ID4 aliens. Sucks to be both of them, I guess.

[Pól Rua]

I've gotta say, people who are overly precious about adaptions kinda irk me, but would it really kill us to have ONE decent film version of some of these stories that get done over and over and over?

It's one of the reasons Coppola's Dracula shits me so badly. It came so close to being a faithful adaption of the novel and then decided that Dracula needed to be Anne Rice-ified, do they made him this whining, lovelorn idiot.

[Matt]

This GIO ad makes me laugh.
It's narrated by that guy who was the storyteller in '300'. I keep expecting him to suddenly start shouting about SPARTA!!!!

All we ever get is How lose a guy in ten days or About a Boy, or Bad Girls. I'm sure they have those three on rotation.

That scene didn't make that much when when you consider the one reaction to scary events that character had thus far displayed was to ... well, scream like a girl.
Ability to control her emotions when faced with adversity was not, up until that scene apparently, in that character's skillset.

[Michael P]

To me, fair Friend, you never can be old,
For as you were when first your eye I eyed
Such seems your beauty still. Three winters' cold
Have from the forests shook three summers' pride;
Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd
In process of the seasons have I seen,
Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd,
Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.
Ah! yet doth beauty, like a dial-hand,
Steal from his figure, and no pace perceived;
So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand,
Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceived:
For fear of which, hear this, thou age unbred,—
Ere you were born, was beauty's summer dead.

Another example of alien stupidity.
The slow, slow, slow process of grabbing humans one by one to drag them up to be minced.

They've never once, while planning this for a million years, come across the concept for a food processor and given serious thought to it?

Seems they also can't be arsed having any sort of self destruct mechanism in their tripods in case defeat seems likely.
You know the ol' "I'm going down but I'm taking you with me!" shtick.

The hero's ex-wife and friends look remarkably well washed and well fed despite the invasion. Bit odd.

That whole movie is stupid from beginning to end.

Apparently the worldwide invasion began in Trenton. By the time they get to Boston it looks like nothing has happened. So they started in Trenton NJ and worked their way out from there.

While I don't see the need for the procedure, I think calling it mutilation and abuse is a bit much.

Have you heard about those 'support groups' where circumcised men sit around and feel sorry for themselves because they had a bit of skin cut off the end of their dick when they were babies? What a pathetic bunch of losers*.



* I can certainly understand being upset if the procedure was botched in some way and somebody did actually end up mutilated in some fashion, but otherwise get the fuck over it already, boys!

It's either someone who watched his feed via someone who commented, or one of the hundreds of new-agey people he's friended that he does not know personally.

While I don't see the need for the procedure, I think calling it mutilation and abuse is a bit much.

It's about as much "mutilation" as ear piercing, if done properly. My friends went so far as to have it performed by a board-certified Urologist in a sterile environment.

As for abuse... the same person claimed circumcision was much less painful for adults. You know, after the skin has had time to get tougher and the nerve endings are all fully formed down there. Now that's abuse. Even the hardest-core Rabbinic groups I know of say an adult who converts doesn't need a full-on snip.

Have you heard about those 'support groups' where circumcised men sit around and feel sorry for themselves because they had a bit of skin cut off the end of their dick when they were babies? What a pathetic bunch of losers*.

I heard of the POV, but did not know there were support groups.

* I can certainly understand being upset if the procedure was botched in some way and somebody did actually end up mutilated in some fashion, but otherwise get the fuck over it already, boys!

I had a patron who was adamant that all hostile acts in the world were due to circumcision throughout history- that violence to a person so soon after birth created a violent person, either manifesting outward or inward. I had to bust his bubble when I brought up that in the classical world the practice decreased under Greek and Roman influence and that in Europe it wasn't common for non Jews, until the 18th century, to be circumcised. And that there was a HELL of a lot of violence going on during those times.

He blamed his addictions and failures entirely on this procedure.

First of all, it is absolutely not bromance, any more than you jawing with old friends makes it bromance.

However, I was thinking about this, and last night showed a huge difference. If it had been Sex and the City or Entourage we would have seen the final fight with that one guy's wife, or at least some sort of conversation, instead, it was just "yeah I moved out, I have my own place now".

Say, that sounds like Weezer. Like a Green album song with the production of Make Believe.

Yep , I have to say it reminded me of the old albums. There somes to be a lot of production on this album their sell thru myspace. Theres a bunch more there they have listed. But "Trippin Down the Freeway" is perhaps the best new one I have heard so far.

Hey Ray, do you think Dennis and Mac have a bromance on Its Always Sunny? What about Charlie and Frank?

[howyadoin]

Bottle up those feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness, and then let them explode in a drunken, postal-worker-style, self-immolative, impotent rage all over your family. Wait. Is that bad?

Charlie and Frank sleep in the same bed, but in that situation Charlie is probably Frank's son, since he was an abortion that didn't take. So, no. Family, presumed or not, doesn't count.

Dennis and Mac pretend to fuck each other constantly, but keep their sexual conquests private in action if not on the down-low discussion-wise. They are also not the kind of guys to discuss feelings, rather the opposite: they'll mock any sign of weakness in the other unmercifully. They never need to make bargains with significant others to get drunk and get stupid or play fantasy football, so again, no. I'd put them as too homophobic and repressed to allow for bromance, but comfortable enough in their masculinity to play grab-ass on occasion.

Made more than a few holidays a bit harrowing, but other than that, no blood, no foul.

Neither compares to John Wayne American Bourbon.

Neither compares to John Wayne American Bourbon.That'd look good next to a bottle of Crystal Head.

Getting ready for a testosterone-filled and drunk-induced night full of horrible Van Damme movies, pro wrestling, and deep-fried burritos.

Which Van Damme movies?

Well one out of three ain't bad.

[howyadoin]

horrible Van Damme moviesSeems kinda vague.

[StoneGold]

Seems kinda vague.

It does leave out Universal Soldier. But that's really more of a Dolph Lungren vehicle.

[Thadeus Thunderwinkle]

Which Van Damme movies?

Looks like Kickboxer and Bloodsport at the moment. Granted that Bloodsport is fine, Kickboxer is horrible on many levels.

[Thadeus Thunderwinkle]

Well one out of three ain't bad.

Naw. Deep-friend burritos are delicious, even though my arteries will surely be clogged by the night's end.

[Thadeus Thunderwinkle]

Hell, I'm jovial enough to watch Street Fighter tonight! ...Probably not.

That's the only one worth participating in.

Bloodsport is my favorite Van Damme flick, but it's no more dignified than Kickboxer.

Bloodsport
Kickboxer
Lionheart

There you go! And if you want to get "sci-fi":

Universal Soldier
Cyborg
Timecop

For some reason, I thought I factored in booze as one of the three. Add booze to that. Two out of four is still pretty good.

We actually watched the first three back-to-back-to-back in January (caught Double Impact later). It amazed me that Jean Claude was not scared of the ginger kid that was his niece. As for Kickboxer, I love how they pan to the dog on occasion as if she has something insightful to say regarding Van Damme's training.
